January 7th 2000 will always be a date I will never forget. That was the day that my beloved female dog Missy our 5 1/2 year old left us and went to the Rainbow Bridge. She suffered a stroke on Christmas day while we were out of town.I took her to the Vet's office the next day and she was given medicationbut she didn't respond to them. I called the Vet's office to put her down. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. While we waited for that time to come we went on our finale walk together ( you was so weak that I had to carry you ). I think you had a good time having the wid blowing on your face for I thought I saw a smile on your face. While at the Vet's office you knew the time and the pain would soon be gone. They gave us some time together to say good-bye. When I told you I loved you and would miss you. You lifted you head and lick my face knowing everything would be alright and you loved me too. When you gave out your finale breath I cried for knowing I just lost my best friend ever. I held you so tightafter that for about 10 min. knowing that you were finally at peace. Missy is now buried in our back yard looking West to the field that she used to run and chase rabbits in. Missy someday I will be reunited with you and we will go running in all the fields we can find and chase more rabbits. I see your grave everyday and I speak to you to tell you i still love and miss you. I belive you can hear me because my heart fills with love when I leave your grave. Missy I love you with all of my heart and you will always live in my heart FOREVER.
